Ray's POV

I was already running deep into the woods when I felt someone pushing at my mind... trying to break into my mind link.

I ignore it since no one can break into my mind.. but a great force hit my mind and I feel my mind link break.

Which is something that has never happened before.. it irritated me and I growled angrily.

"What?! Who dared to f$*king break into my mind link?"

"Ray, it's me, Stacey" I hear my mate's voice.

Zeus suddenly starts jumping around in joy... Of course I'm in my wolf form but I'm still very much in control.

"Baby?" I asked to be sure.

"Yes, where are you, Ray?"

I forgot that since we mated, she's the only one that can break into my mind link.

"I'm fine, baby, just go home when you're done with your classes, ok" 

"I know you're fine, just tell me where you are.. I wanna see you now!"

Hmm.. I don't think this little woman is still at school.

I wanted to lie that I'm at home, but she might have come back from school already and might know I'm lying.

"I'm going back to the palace, I...." I trail off as I perceive an all too familiar smell.

The smell of hunters. I smirk, I know they'll lurk in the woods and wait for any unlucky wolf.

That's why I came here to wait for them...I can't let both rogues and hunters continue to terrorize my pack at the same time.

I should deal with the hunters first before coming to the rogues.

I growl and cut off our mind link, blocking Stacey out of my mind as I see Jason and his men standing a few feet away from me.

"Hello, dirty dog!" Jason say.

I snarled at him for calling me a dog, even Zeus is fighting to take over and teach Jason a lesson for calling him a dog.

"I have been waiting to get rid of you!" He said.

Well the feeling is mutual.. I have long wanted to get rid of you too, I said in my mind.

"Can you shift back to your human form, it feels weird talking to an animal"

I growled but held myself back. I count his men and realize they are ten in numbers... Him making it eleven!

Piece of cake!

"Hey! Can you understand me?"

I assess their weapons, some carried crossbows... with silver arrows.

Some carried guns with enough silver bullet.. I must be careful how I attack them.

"It seems you don't wanna shift, I'll just talk to you in your animal form!"

I just glare at him, imagining how he's gonna die by my hands.

"You know, I wanted to change my mind. I didn't wanna carry on with my plans because I thought I have a chance with Stacey..."

I growl at him for calling Stacey's name but the bastard laughs.

"I thought if Syacey could agree to leave with me, I can forget about destroying your pack because of her.. but she chooses you instead!"

Of course she'll chose me, I'm her mate!

"I tried to convince her to leave you but she didn't agree.. all because of you! Now, gonna kill you and destroy your pack after.. then I'll leave with Stacey!"

I stomp my paws on the ground and growls at him... baring my teeth at him.

I shift back to my human form and stands naked in front of them.. but I don't mind.

"Yo! He finally shifted!" He said.

He and his men laugh. I simply smirk cause I know they're all going to die today.

"I'll kill you and destroy your pack, then I'll leave with Stacey.. she's mine!"

That word got to me and I let Zeus take control.

"I'll make you eat your words!" Zeus growls.

"After I kill you?"

Zeus rushed forward and grab two of his men by their neck, without wasting time he snaps their necks and throws their bodies against some tress.

Jason's men gets their weapons ready to fire at me.

"Fire!" Jason orders them.

Stacey's POV

I have been running for a few minutes now, but haven't found Ray yet.

I never knew the woods is very big.

"Fire!" I hear Jason's voice order.

His voice sounded so close, I increase my pace and finally arrived at the scene.

Jason stands behind some armed men, they're all pointing their guns and bows at something...they all look serious.

I follow their gaze and my eyes fell on a naked Ray.

"Oh lala! What a sex god" Karen exclaims in my head, purring in satisfaction.

"What is wrong with you, Karen, our mate is about to die and you're being horny"

"He's gonna handle it just fine" Was her only reply before I shut her out.

Ray is holding two guys by their necks and is using them as shield... Using them to block any bullet or arrow that is coming his way.

My heart is beating fast, I'm scared that a bullet or arrow will actually hit him.

The hunters aren't slowing down in their attacks, they keep firing their guns and bows in a rapid speed.

I feel like stepping forward to help Ray but I can't, I might be a distraction to him.

Soon the hunters ran out of bullets and arrows.. Ray throws those guys away and smirks at Jason.

My eyes move to the guys lying on the ground, they are long dead and with the amount of hits they took.. they don't look pleasant to the eyes at all.

"Is this all you've got?" Ray asked Jason.

Jason turn to his men.

"Where are the back up bullets?" He asked.

"They are finished, boss!"

Ray takes long strides towards them and they take slow steps backwards.. I can see fear in their eyes from where I'm standing.

In a flash Ray is grabbing two by their necks, he throws one against a tree.. I guess the force was much as the tree breaks and falls on the guy.

He groans and cough out blood... Ray snaps the other guy's neck and throws him at Jason.

He lands on Jason's feet and Jason tries to jump but falls on his butts instead.

"What are you waiting for?! Attack him at once!!" Jason yells at his men.

They all rushed towards Ray but Ray's growl makes them halt.. I chuckles silently.

They begin to circle Ray, looking for ways to bring him down.

"I told you to go back home!" I hear Dylan whisper in my ear.

I turn to Dylan with a frown.

"Shh! Watch!" I told him and point towards Ray and the hunters.

But I was kinda distracted when Dylan whisper in my ear, I don't know how it happened but looking back at the fight, I saw Jason's men holding Ray back with a chain.

Ray is growling in pain and struggling to get away from the chain but couldn't.

"What is happening?!" I asked Dylan.

"Silver!" He replied glaring at Jason maliciously.

Jason laughs and stands in front of Ray with a long sharp rod.. it seem to be made of silver too.

"I thought you are almighty and the most powerful of all werewolves!" He mocks Ray.

I feel anger build inside me and Karen urging me to go save Ray. Dylan is growling beside me.

"You are nothing but a dirty dog!" He said stabs the rod on Ray's thigh.

Ray growls warningly.

I don't know what possessed me, my Ms calm and practical side gone... A wild maniac side in combat that I didn't know I had in me came out and pushes me forward.

"Stacey where are you going?!" Dylan yells.

I ignore him.

I kicked Jason away from Ray and pull the rod out of Ray's thigh... Not minding how it's burning my palm.

It's like I'm not in control of my body...I can't control my actions.

I stab one of the guys in his heart with the rod, be lets out a loud painful cry and he lets go of the chain.

I pull it out and stabs another in throat and he falls down.

From my peripheral view I see Ray snapping the other guys necks.

I turn to Jason and glare at him.

"Stacey, you... you... you..." He points at me as he stutters.

I take slow steps towards him.

"You're a soulless lunatic with no respect for human life!" I growled.

"Your... Y-your eyes...."

He bends down and pick a gun, he aims at me but before he could pull the trigger, I throws the rod at him.

It went through his chest and sends him straight to a tree... hanging him on the tree.

He stares at me with his eyes wide open.. like he couldn't believe what just happened.

The gun falls from his hand and his head bends down... blood pouring from his chest like a pouring rain.

I suddenly starts feeling dizzy, Ray rushed forward and caught me before I could fall.

"Baby, are you ok?" He asked.

"Stacey!" I hear Jessy and Josh call me.

"Your eyes..." Jessy trails off.

I frown... What's wrong with my eyes?

"They're glowing!" Was all I heard before I passed out.
